This House of Burning Bones: A Dark And Twisty Police Procedural by Stuart MacBride (Paperback)

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin and Val McDermid, This House of Burning Bones is unforgettably gripping Scottish crime at its very best, from the acclaimed author Stuart MacBride.

The Granite City is ready to burn, and all it takes is a single spark . . .

In the heat of a blistering summer, Aberdeen’s police are struggling. With half the force off sick and leave cancelled, they must contend with a firebombed hotel full of migrants and a massive protest march. Detective Inspector Logan McRae is forced to juggle cases and run a major murder investigation with a skeleton staff. Adding to the pressure, the Aberdeen Examiner, now owned by media tycoon Natasha Agapova, is hell-bent on blaming the local police. As bad as things seem, they are about to get much, much worse.
